Novas técnicas de neuroimagem estão permitindo revelar a intrincada arquitetura das redes neurais do cérebro. A ressonância por difusão está trazendo um grande avanço na compreensão da base neurológica de condições até então consideradas sem causa física aparente, como autismo, dislexia, gagueira, TDAH, tourette, etc. Este entendimento deve levar a formas mais eficazes de diagnosticar e prevenir precocemente o desenvolvimento dessas condições.

Teatro e síndrome de Tourette

Tal como ocorre na gagueira, em que a encenação de um personagem pode reduzir a dificuldade de falar, pessoas com síndrome de Tourette também podem experimentar um alívio temporário em seus tiques quando estão em cena no teatro.

Re: Panic disorder and my life (1 of 3)

Made this in response to a friend who also suffers, they delete their accounts VERY often so I am asking another person to post this as it MAY help just ONE person, if so it is worth it.

It’s all about living in the “now” that and from my MANY years of living with it by “Living Through It” I have also learned it has NOT killed me yet, why should I think it will now.

With these simple thoughts in mine and FIRMLY believing them I have come to gain so control to be able to at least cope in the world I live in WITH my anxieties.

There have been times I have literally sat on my couch and rocked for SIX MONTHS at a time, so you know I have “been there”

I hope this helps someone, somewhere.

If there is any particular questions you would like to ask me, feel free to do so, I will do my best to answer if I am able to and/or even post a Video, simply let me know.

Love and Light as I know there is indeed HOPE~

Peace

Energy Psychology -Thought Field Therapy Demo

This is a demonstration on how Thought Field Therapy or TFT works.
Thought Field Therapy or TFT is one of the main schools of thought encompassed under the banner of Energy Psychology. Like all of the forms of Energy Psychology it was adapted from Applied Kinesiology and the principles inherent in Chinese medicine and the Meridian System which have been practiced for thousands of years.
You can find out more about TFT or Thought Field Therapy at http://www.energypsychologytherapy.com.

Just a ::winged:: Video in which I speak about my personal experience with Tourette Syndrome, OCD Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Panic Attacks, Anxiety Attacks, and more.

While all may be different, these are more than a half century of personal observations of said.

Causes Of OCD

The fact that OCD patients respond well to specific medications suggests the disorder has a neurobiological basis. For that reason, OCD is no longer attributed to attitudes a patient learned in childhood-for example, an inordinate emphasis on cleanliness, or a belief that certain thoughts are dangerous or unacceptable. Instead, the search for causes now focuses on the interaction of neurobiological factors and environmental influences. It is believed that people who develop OCD have a biological predisposition to react strongly to stress, that this reaction takes the form of intrusive, distressing thoughts, and that these thoughts lead to more anxiety and stress, eventually creating a vicious circle the person cannot escape without help.

Brain imaging studies using a technique called positron emission tomography (PET) have compared people with and without OCD. Several groups of investigators have obtained findings from PET scans suggesting that OCD patients have patterns of brain activity that differ from those of people without mental illness or with some other mental illness. Brain imaging studies of OCD showing abnormal neuro-chemical activity in regions known to play a role in certain neurological disorders suggest that these areas may be crucial in the origins of OCD. In addition, PET scans show that in patients with OCD, both behavioral therapy and medication produce changes in the caudate nucleus, a part of the brain. This is graphic evidence that both psychotherapy and medication affect the brain.

Persons with OCD use different brain circuitry in performing a cognitive task than people without the disorder.

Recent preliminary studies of the brain using magnetic resonance imaging showed that the subjects with obsessive-compulsive disorder had significantly less white matter than did normal control subjects, suggesting a widely distributed brain abnormality in OCD. Understanding the significance of this finding will be further explored by functional neuroimaging and neuropsychological studies.

Symptoms of OCD are seen in ociation with some other neurological disorders. There is an increased rate of OCD in people with Tourette’s syndrome, an illness characterized by involuntary movements and vocalizations. Investigators are currently studying the hypothesis that a genetic relationship exists between OCD and the tic disorders.

Other illnesses that may be linked to OCD are trichotillomania (the repeated urge to pull out scalp hair, eyelashes, eyebrows or other body hair), body dysmorphic disorder (excessive preoccupation with imaginary or exaggerated defects in appearance), and hypochondriasis (the fear of having–despite medical evaluation and reassurance–a serious disease).

Genetic studies of OCD and other related conditions may enable scientists to pinpoint the molecular basis of these disorders.

Other theories about the causes of OCD focus on the interaction between behavior and the environment and on beliefs and attitudes, as well as how information is processed. These behavioral and cognitive theories are not incompatible with biological explanations.
